SH2-284 The Little Rosette
Lots of gorgeous structure with beautiful blue from OIII making a nice backdrop for various columns and dust lanes. There are a number of unusual objects surrounding the area as well. In my annotated version I highlighted Carbon stars, Peculiar Stars, Bubbles, and HII regions. There is also a very strong SII red area directly below Bubble E79 that does not show up on any Simbad catalog and since it is most strongly in SII it may be a new structure! There is also NGC2282 with its unusual dart structure that is unnamed as well. The main bulb of SH2-284 is ionized by the bright young stars that form the cluster Dolidze 25.
Interesting find. The JWST imaged this with NIRCAM
